Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc. 2010 . Introduction Notes: English This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential mmmmm area may cause interference to several frequency based communications. The Probe is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction Manual . The Probe is an ultrasonic level monitor combining sensor and electronics in a single package.

6 It is designed to measure liquid levels in closed vessels. The sensor is PVDF or ETFE, allowing The Probe to be used in a wide variety of industries. The optional sanitary version affords quick removal and ease of cleaning as demanded by the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The sensor houses the ultrasonic transducer and temperature sensing element. The Probe emits a series of ultrasonic pulses from the transducer. Each pulse is reflected as an echo from the material and sensed by the transducer. The echo is processed by The Probe using Milltronic's proven `Sonic Intelligence' techniques.

7 Filtering is applied to help discriminate between the true echo from the material, and false echoes from acoustical and electrical noises and agitator blades in motion. The time for the pulse to travel to the material and back is temperature compensated and then converted into distance for display, mA output and relay actuation. Installation Environmental The Probe should be mounted in an area that is within the temperature range specified and that is suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction. The front lid should be accessible to allow programming, wiring and display viewing.

8 It is advisable to keep The Probe away from high voltage or current runs, contactors and SCR control drives.
